The practical implementation of IP? Sure, that's debatable. But the concept of IP is rooted in favoring progress. The thought process being, that if one's intellectual work can be copied and reused and modified and what not withou

We already don't. We want the Americans to pack up their bases and fuck off. Ami, go home! They've done enough work to stir up chaos and war all over the planet in the last 7 decades.

The Wind Rises is my favorite Ghibli, something about it just draws me in like no other. Don't get me wrong, I love Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away like the next person, but The Wind Rises is special to m

What's not working for you? I have only used Discord a handful of times since switching to wayland and nothing egregious stood out. In fact, I had way no issues at all when I had tons back on X11 with Discord. Could very well be due to

One major issue with transportation in the Martian environment is the extremely abrasive dust and the sharp rocks. Pretty much every rover has had the issue that the wheels deteriorate very quickly and dust gets into every nook and cranny,

Not sure about QTile but I'm using swaywm on Fedora 43, it's a delight to use! I am using a mix of sway and hyprland utensils for everything and I couldn't be happier. Wayland on Fedora is a no-brainer, fixed so many annoyanc

The German metro area "Rheinland" has a population of 8.7 million people across 12 thousand square kilometers. ~700/sqkm vs the 240/sqkm population density of Atlanta metro. Train and metro travel in this metrk area is e

Does it matter? Apple paid around 300 million pounds of corporation tax in 2024. If the UK poses a landmark penalty of say 50 or 100 billion pounds, thats 167x or 333x the annual corporation tax paid by Apple in the UK.

Shed was killed by a railgun round. These are kinetic projectiles, spall lining doesn't do anything against those.

When have we given up on expecting journalists to do their jobs and write articles worthy of being read and containing actual information? If I wanted to read blubberish I'd go read some AI slop but if an article is written by a human

The whole imperial/British side has tons of ugly and weird units of measure. Reading old engineering documentation will give you headaches and nightmares from all the inconsistent systems of units.

The irony stems from the fact workers are fired due to being 'replaced' by AI only to then be re-hired afterwards to clean up the slop, thus maximizing costs to the business!

That's the kind if short-sighted view that's the root issue in a ton of enshittification happening around: the belief that short-term gains or benefits are all it's about. It's not sustainable to leech off of wikipedia c

To expand on this, as stated in your source: > [270B solar masses] is the maximum mass of a black hole that models predict, at least for luminous accreting SMBHs. as well as: > The limit is only 5×10^10 M [50B solar masses] for black

In a similar vein, I really liked "Robot" by Adam Wiśniewski-Snerg, first published in 1973. It doesn't really mention AI itself, but it is about the relationship between humans and artificial life/intelligence. The cent

But that wasn't certain until Starship proved it technologically possible.

by kataklasm 2y ago
Yes, they are. Starship has proven multiple novel engineering approaches and technologies. Examples: 1. catching the booster in the air to save on landing gear weight and complexity 2. firing 33 engines simultaneously in a tight cluster 3.

I'm fairly sceptic a business guy like him with little to no experience navigating politics will be able to handle the task at hand. But maybe that's exactly what NASA needs to adapt away from their archaic modus operandi and achi

For those using them according to prescriptions maybe, sure. But the opioid crisis isn't an opioid crisis because people are using them according to what their doc told them. It's a crisis because they are abused.
